First place I ever sold comics. The place was a dump with many low-lifes lurking around. After a guy was murdered there, they moved the show to the Pick-Congress and renamed it the Chicago Mini-con.

You've got all this already.... right ?

 

 

Most of it.

 

I have the original Arkham House Skull Face and Others. I'm missing Howard Review #3 but have Jerry Weist's copy of #1. My Sowers of Thunder hc is flawless and signed by Krenkel.

 

And yes Bob Weinberg is a legend among REH and pulp collectors and scholars.

 

Great ads!

 

[Senormac]

Moving on to issue #125

 

[Senormac]

I remember the name "the bookie joint" from somewhere

 

[Senormac]

The thing is.... I think these kinds of ads actually worked. Connections were made, friends happened and collections got completed

 

[Senormac]

Only one thing missing from this ad. Does anyone notice what ?

 

[Senormac]

I thought it was cool that this guy was in alaska. Ok... maybe it was cold

 

[Senormac]

At the end of this ad, Mr. Anderson appears to be putting out a call for a couple of lost friends

 

[Senormac]
